The Science Performance of JWST as Characterized in Commissioning

Jane Rigby, Marshall Perrin, Michael McElwain +623

This paper characterizes the actual science performance of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), as determined from the six month commissioning period. We summarize the performanc…

Optical Coronagraphic Spectroscopy of AU Mic: Evidence of Time Variable Colors?

Jamie R. Lomax, John P. Wisniewski, Aki Roberge +4

We present coronagraphic long slit spectra of AU Mic's debris disk taken with the STIS instrument aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Our spectra are the first spatially resol…

Mid-Infrared Properties of the Swift Burst Alert Telescope Active Galactic Nuclei Sample of the Local Universe. I. Emission-Line Diagnostics

K. A. Weaver, M. Meléndez, R. F. Mushotzky +9

We compare mid-infrared emission-line properties, from high-resolution Spitzer spectra of a hard X-ray (14 -- 195 keV) selected sample of nearby (z < 0.05) AGN detected by the Burs…

The ^{55}Fe X-ray Energy Response of Mercury Cadmium Telluride Near-Infrared Detector Arrays

Ori D. Fox, Augustyn Waczynski, Yiting Wen +5

A technique involving ^{55}Fe X-rays provides a straightforward method to measure the response of a detector. The detector's response can lead directly to a calculation of the conv…

An Infrared Coronagraphic Survey for Substellar Companions

P. Lowrance, E. E. Becklin, G. Schneider +10

We have used the F160W filter (1.4-1.8 um) and the coronagraph on the Near-InfraRed Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to survey 45 s…
